Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>The United Nations World Food Programme appealed to the members of the G7 to sanction more funds for global food security, arguing that failure to act would deepen the world\u2019s humanitarian crises currently pronounced in Sudan, Haiti and Sahel.<\/p>\n

The WFP noted in a press release yesterday that 345 million people are facing advanced levels of food insecurity, with 200 million people becoming food insecure since 2020 and 43 million of them risking plunging into famine.<\/p>\n

According to the global food agency, this can only be addressed if the international community such as the G7 countries sustain their efforts to maintain the world food security at the 2022 levels.<\/p>\n

\u201cLast year, G7 leadership achieved life-saving results in the fight against hunger. Millions of people received much-needed support and countries like Somalia were pulled back from the brink of famine. Unfortunately, the global food crisis hasn\u2019t gone away.<\/p>\n

And situations like Sudan and Haiti are adding fuel to the fire,\u201d said WFP Executive Director Cindy McCain, as quoted in the press release.<\/p>\n

\u201cWFP calls on G7 countries, all of whom increased funding in 2022, to continue funding food assistance for the hundreds of millions of people affected by the global food crisis and the millions new to hunger since last year,\u201d the WFP noted on the press release.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is also calling for political support for other actions which would help ease the crisis. These include working for the continuation of the Black Sea Grain Initiative, ensuring adequate supplies of fertilizer and supporting programmes to increase smallholder farmers\u2019 production.\u201d<\/p>\n

It further estimates that additional 2.5 million people will be rendered food insecure due to the war in Sudan. This will take the total number of people in dire need of food to 19 million in Sudan.<\/p>\n

Sudan has been in turmoil since mid-April 2023 when the government-allied forces loyal to Gen Abdel Fattah Al Burhan clashed with Rapid Support Forces, loyal to Gen Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo.<\/p>\n

G7 is a union of countries comprising France, the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Japan, Italy and Canada<\/p>\n
